The lav. of Iowa in regard to boys buying and smoking cigarettes are very stringent and attention is being called to them in a publicity cam paign that is being waged for the en forcement of the laws.

ELLIOT PLEASES IN "LION AND MOUSE" Large Audience Hears Presentation of Play by Well Known Reader at U. P. Church. Edward Elliott who appeared at the United Presbyterian church last night as a play reader, amply upheld I the reputation of the Century enter-1 tainment course made through Its first number, the Strollers quartette. Mr. Elliott gave Charles Klein's "Lion and the Mouse" in a style that held the rapt attention of the large audience till the last line. Preceding this he gave a short talk on the Influ ence of good, clean, wholesome drama, such as the Lion and the Mouse," and told some Incidents at tending its writing and production. "The Lion and the Mouse" contains some strong characters and Mr. El liott interpreted them with consum mate skill. As Ready-money Rider, he reached his heighth. But his in terpretation of the heroine was sym pathetic and as touching, and in the character of Bagley, the private sec retary to the money king, he accom plished a pretty hit of acting and speaking. The reading was thorough ly enjoyed and Mr. Elliott was warm ly applauded at the conclusion of each act. —Read The Gfete City want column.

Not until Hyomel was discovered has it been possible to truthfully sav that a real remedy for catarrh was known. Hyomel is an oil and its air iB breathed through a small Inhaler furnished with it for a few minutes four times a day, and during that time every particle of this Hyomei-laden air taken into the air passages and lungs iB impregnated with a powerful germ hilling and health giving anti septic. Sprays and lotions often cause dis orders of the respiratory tracts or bring on some other diseases and never make a. permanent cure of catarrh. But when the air of Hyomei penetrates to the Inmost air cells of the lungs and enters the blood with the oxygen It not only kills the germs in the throat and nose, but kills the bacilli in the blood, freeing the mucous membranes from poisonous microbe' and giving perfect health, A complete outfit is inexpensive and includes an inhaler, dropper and suf ficient Hyomei for several weeks treatment. Wilkinson & Co. have so much faith in the merit of Hyomei tha they agree to return the money to any purchaser who is not thoroughly sat isfied. KEOKUK IN GIVE SOME 600D IDEAS C. F. McFarland and L. A. Hamill Are Prominent in Dlsousslon of Ways and Meana Commit tee'* Report. MEMBERS HOMESICK LA CROSSE GETS MEET Wilkinson and Boswell Are Returned to Office, Although Boswell Wanted Re sign. C. F. McFarland and L. A. Hamtll who represented Keokuk at the Uiiper Mississippi River meeting, were prominent in the discussion yesterday when the ways and mean" oomiuictee made its rep^ »t The Quincy Whig says: When the committee on ways and means made its report yesterday aft ernoon In the meeting of the Upper Mississippi Improvement association, it was followed by strenuous excite ment and contention. The casual ob server would have thought, judging from the prevalence of hot air that an air ship had passed over the assembly and dropped some zeppelin bombs. Others might have thought that a hidden submarine beneath the surface of silent waters had shot a torpedo under placid passages, giving conster nation to all pursuing peaceful courses. The committee in view of the fact U-at of about $5,000 assessments made against cities in the present year for funds for maintaining an association organized to work especially for their beneut, only one-half of the amount had been paid, and further that the expenses for the current, year were something more than $3,000, urged that economy must be preached and advised that the offices of the presi dent and secretary must be consoli dated, thus having one man for ser vice where at present twb have been employed. Although the recommendation ap peared like a plain proposition, the re port Beemed to astound the delegates and it took some time before features of the report could be made perfectly clear. McFariand's Ideas. C. F. McFarland of Keokuk took a strong stand against the recommenda tion, asserting that a reduction of cur tailing of expenses would bring a crisis that would be the death knell of the association. He beiieved that more money should be expended in proclaiming the worth and value of the association. He favored the em ployment of a field secretary as an assistance to visit river towns pre senting claims of the association fol lowed by soliciting additional funds for vigorous efforts in way of im provements. L. A. Hamill of Keokuk said that he thought throwing all ofllces into one foreshadowed the end of the as sociation. Keokuk has been assessed the sum of $150 for maintaining the association. He gave his word that if the city council refused to meet the assessment he would pay it himself. To see the value of terminals we should commence at the top and go to tne bottom. The best terminals he had seen on the river were at Lake Itasca and work of improvement should he continued until similar ter minals were at landings along the river." He did not believe in curtail ing expenses to gain the object in view. At LaCro6se Next Vear. One of the last things before the adjournment of the "Upper Mississippi River convention was the election of officers and choice for the next place of meeting. Muscatine and J^aCrosse were the only places put forward for the next convention and as Muscatine finally withdrew from the race, La crosse was unanimously chosen, the I dates for the meeting to be *ixed by the executive committee. Thomas Wilkinson of Burlington, was unanimously re elected president and L. B. Boswell of Quincy unani mously re-elected as secretary. Mr. Boswell, while appreciating the honor conferred, said that ho would be obliged to decline the office. He as serted that he had continuously put forth his best efforts in behalf of the organization and the criucisms he had heard during the afternoon were I uncalled for and unjust, hence he de sired to sever ues with the associa tion. His announcement was heard with much regTet and finally upon a motion made and adopted that he reconsider his action, he yielded and accepted the office with assuranco he would have better support in the future. J. P. Ecknart of Guttenburg, Iowa, I was unanimously re-elected treasurer. The following state vice presidents were duly elected: Minnesota, Byron J. Mosier, Stillwell Wisconsin, Alder man William Torrance, La Crosse Iowa, John Blaul, Burlington: Illinois, C. F. Perry, Quincy Missouri, B. N. Hanson, St. Louis.
